Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of a mixture of facing 4-seat bays and longitudinal bench seating, and includes baggage racks next to the doorways. [3] The seats are covered in a blue moquette incorporating the traditional Japanese seigaiha (青海波) pattern. [3] LED lighting is used throughout. [3] Passenger information is provided by 7-inch wide LCD displays above the doorways. [3] Information is provided in four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. Initially one screen is provided above each doorway, but provision is made for installing a second screen in the future. [3]

Structural damage
On 31 May 2022, structural cracks were discovered on seven 10000 series trainsets, causing a reduction in peak-hour service from every four minutes to every five minutes. [7] The cracks were mainly found on an aluminum part which connects the body of the vehicle to the bogie.
